The Oklahoma City Thunder saw their 7-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday when they fell to the Celtics 134-129 in Boston. Tonight, the Thunder looks to get back on track as they host the Orlando Magic.
The Thunder and the Magic faced off in Orlando just one week ago, and after an oddly close game in which the Thunder trailed by 3 entering the fourth quarter, OKC roared back to win 126-117. The Magic has picked up two solid wins over the Indiana Pacer and the Brooklyn Nets since last week, however, so the Thunder needs to start this one off strong and get back on track with winning.
